The City of Peachtree Corners has officially launched a brand-new mobile app designed to make it easier for residents and visitors to stay informed, connected, and engaged with everything happening across the city.

The free app is now available for download in both the Apple App Store and Google Play. City leaders say the platform was built to serve as a centralized digital hub, bringing together government information, community updates, live streaming, and civic reporting tools in one convenient place.

A Digital Hub for Residents and Visitors

The Peachtree Corners mobile app was developed to simplify how users access the most frequently visited sections of the City’s website. Instead of navigating multiple pages online, residents can now find what they need directly from their smartphones.

City Manager Brian Johnson shared his enthusiasm about the launch.

“The City is proud to launch our new mobile app and to further promote resident engagement. We’re excited for residents to download the app and share their feedback so we can continue to make the product as helpful and beneficial as possible.”

The app reflects a collaborative effort between the City’s in-house team and external development partner ChopDawg Studios, Inc., with a strong focus on usability, accessibility, and real-time communication.

Key Features of the Peachtree Corners Mobile App

The newly released platform includes a wide range of features aimed at improving transparency and community interaction.

User Registration

Users can create secure accounts using an email address and strong password. Optional mobile registration with SMS verification is also available, offering an additional layer of security.

Updated News Module

The app provides direct access to official City news pulled from the municipal website. It also includes selected announcements from outside organizations when shared by the City, helping residents stay current on important updates.

Events Calendar

The integrated events calendar allows users to view upcoming activities in both calendar and map formats. City-sponsored events, City Council meetings, cultural celebrations, and recreational programs are all featured in one convenient location.

Live Streaming

One of the most impactful additions is built-in live streaming functionality. The City can now broadcast meetings, announcements, and special events directly through the app. This ensures greater accessibility for residents who cannot attend events in person.

Points of Interest

For visitors and longtime residents alike, the app includes a comprehensive guide to parks, public art, shopping areas, and other attractions. This feature enhances tourism while helping locals discover new places within the city.

City Information

Users can access detailed information about City services, departments, history, and contact options. Built-in communication tools make it easier for residents to connect directly with municipal staff.

PTC Report It Module

The upgraded “PTC Report It” feature allows residents to report concerns using a simplified submission form. Users can upload photos or videos and pinpoint the exact location of an issue using an interactive map, streamlining response times and improving service delivery.

Social Feed Integration

The app aggregates live social media feeds from the City and Curiosity Lab, offering real-time updates and event highlights within the platform itself.

Push Notifications

Residents can receive push notifications, in-app alerts, and branded email updates about urgent news, announcements, and account activity. This ensures timely communication, especially during emergencies or significant community developments.

Ongoing Improvements Planned

City officials have confirmed that this launch is only the beginning. Future updates will expand the app’s capabilities with additional modules and features based on user feedback and evolving community needs.

By investing in digital infrastructure, Peachtree Corners continues to position itself as a forward-thinking municipality that prioritizes accessibility, transparency, and resident engagement.

How to Download

Residents and visitors can find the app by searching “City of Peachtree Corners” in the Apple App Store or Google Play.

City leaders encourage the community to download the app, explore its features, and provide feedback to help shape future enhancements.

With real-time updates, streamlined reporting tools, and expanded access to city services, the new Peachtree Corners mobile app represents a significant step forward in how the city connects with its community — making engagement easier, faster, and more convenient than ever before.
